Third time's the charm....

I re-re-pierced my lip tonight--this is the third time now. I had it done professionally last year at my old college, and let it grow closed after only a week when I went home for break (my parents weren't too fond of it). I repierced it with a sewing needle myself (sterilized, of course) a couple months ago and had it for a good long time before going home for spring break and letting it grow closed again. Tonight I let my friend Renee do it for me because she's really into inflicting pain on people or some jazz (just kidding). Hopefully I can get a chance to get one of those snazzy clear plastic "invisible" piercing retainers before I go home this weekend for Easter; if not, I guess I'll probably be seeing a fourth piercing not too far down the road....

I reeeeally love how lip piercings look; I don't know why, I just find them insanely attractive--tantalizing even. Also, I think piercings can be very artistic in this day and age--not simply as a chance to rebel against the social norm anymore. In fact, piercings are rapidly becoming the social norm for my generation. I predict that in ten or twenty years the rules about visible piercings in the workplace will begin to undergo a drastic change, and, not too long after that, you will see managers with visible tattoos and metal bars through their eyebrows. Maybe. Hopefully.... because that would be uber cool.

I doodled some more sweet cartoons during class today when I was bored, but I haven't scanned them yet. I'll post them later.

I need to think of something more creative than just my random thoughts and musings for my posts from now on...
